This concept animation shows just one of many potential concepts for how the first human landing site on Mars might evolve throughout the course of multiple human expeditions to the Red Planet over a decade or more.

This is what we need today, a new "we can do it" project, just like the moon landing was.

The 1960s were a tumultuous time. Much like the current is. Many things divided the country, racial issues, the Vietnam war, a generation conflict like none before, but there was the space program that not only gave many people work. It gave people a purpose. They could rally behind a greater goal that everyone was part of. From the farmer in Kansas who could think that his crops were used to feed the astronauts and the miner who could see his ore being used to build those rockets to the welders that built the rockets and the accountant that managed the distribution of funds.

Everyone was part of this, and everyone could, quite credibly, say "this ain't going nowhere without me!"

We need something like this again. Something that's not only a huge leap ahead in technology, and let's be honest here, what NASA invented in the 60s drove the US economy until the 90s. And I'm not talking about things like propulsion or even computer science, I'm talking about process management, quality management and project management, things that were hardly considered "important" before that were basically invented during those days, at least their methodical use. At best they were "coincidentally" used before, only with the rigor of quality and process planning the moon shot required these now crucial and generally employed management techniques were elevated to an academic, systematic level.

And we really, really need that again. Yes, the moon shot was incredibly expensive. And going to Mars will cost even more. But if our flight to Mars is only half as rewarding, in hard US-Dollars, actually, as the moon shot was, the US economy will take over the world in ways we can't even imagine yet.

Someone said recently he wants to make America great again. Now, here's his chance.

With dust storms that can last for months, I wouldn't dare go unless there is a guaranteed nuclear power supply for life sustaining minimum power.

Very cool, looks like they used some vehicle models from the Kerbal Space program.  Awesome none the less, hope I am alive to see the day humans broadcast live images back from Mars!

They're going to need to build bigger than this.

Looks heavy. Awesome CGI though - thanks!

Please make all the 3D and texture assets for this video free and open source.

Absolutely beautiful. Amazing how far our species came and how much further we're willing go. I salute the braves souls that would travel into the unknown for the name science.

What's the regolith collection and processing unit for? Making fuels? Melting regolith and turn it into glass?

One little detail is missing in the video: water. The rest is just perfect.

This has elements of Dr. Zubrin's Mars Direct plan especially in the hab structures :)

Just wondering, why is the astrobiology lab separate from the other modules.

We hope to be still alive to see when this video will become reality.

great video, but the frequent use of the robotic noise is unbearable...

NASA! ONE THING YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE, the habitat should looker DARKER?! Why? I think you may know why, but it attracts heat, rather than reflects/bounces it off, lighter colours/white will make heat bounce off!!
Mars is COLD (sometimes normal at the equator!) so Going to colder regions on the Planet? take my advice, I know this is just an intro/hype video. I like it very much and have hope in the U.S Space Agency to deliver so don't get me wrong. I am from the UK btw! @NASA

I'm curious why Mars comes ahead of the Moon where everyting could be tested and, therefore, technologically enhanced

How many BFR/FH/SLS launches are we looking at here? I noticed a Morpheus style lander.

Wouldn't the polar regions be better in terms of access to water and fewer temperature extremes? Perhaps if there's any magnetic field left protecting the surface, it would be strongest by the poles. Sun might not be strongest there but I would think solar panels in orbit could beam power to wherever you want to build a base. solar panels might be safer in orbit than on the surface and have access to constant sun.
